Podcasts

I love podcasts. I have been listening to them ever since I got my IPod two years ago. It gives me control over what I listen to while driving. They are informative and very entertaining.

For those who don't know, a podcast is a regular MP3 download that can be subscribed to either by an RSS feed or on a media player like ITunes. Often they are radio shows that you can listen to at your leisure, but many are only available as a podcast. Here is a decent description of how to download podcasts.

Here are my favorites:

Buzz Out Loud - I am a regular listener now for nearly two years. Great 30-ish minute podcast about tech and other stuff. Great hosts. Short enough to listen to the whole thing often.

TWIT - This week in Tech, with Leo Laporte - another tech podcast. I have to confess, I have not listened as much lately because it is longer, although it is only once a week, where BOL is every weekday.

NPR Science Friday - Great science content once a week. My wife and kids like this one as well (not as geeky as the first two).

Ask a Ninja - This is a video podcast. If you have not heard of it, then just go there. Words cannot describe it.
